• .NET Development Problems authenticating on a foreign server

  Hello. I'm using HttpWebRequest to log a user on to a foreign server. They supply their own user name and password. I know that sounds like a huge security mistake, but bear with me. Basically I have to make a number of adapters for various web-based e-mail clients, such as Yahoo. Most of these aren't too bad, but I've hit a roadblock on sites like www.mailpuppy.com . The web site reports that my session ID is invalid, but when running a&nb ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Express Security?

• Windows Forms Report Viewer prints different sizes according to screen resolution...

  Whatever size the computer desktop is set at affects the size of the reports I am printing. Maybe it is in the build of the report that is causing the problem, but i dont think so. I have it set to 7in wide and 9in high, and i'm not using percentages or anything, so i  have no idea why it would be printing in different sizes... I do know that if i change the desktop resolution to different sizes, the report size changes. Does anybody have ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to Reset Form and Delete DataSet

  Hi everyone, I have a form that gets filled with all kinds of goodies (listboxes, treeviews, textboxes, labels, etc). A dataset also gets created programatically with a single table (6 columns and probably 100 rows). I'm looking for a way to quickly reset the form back to its original state and delete the dataset.

• Visual FoxPro Form clattered at design time. How to change pages?

  With many controls added to a form I am beginning to sense a problem. During runtime many controls will be invisible on the first page but when subsequent pages are chosen they will appear. It is determined programmatically. I do not see an option to choose pages at design time. It would allow me to see some controls much better. In Visual dBASE Plus such convenience if taken for granted and much appreciated. How can I do it here Thanks. H ...Show All
